Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Girlfriend's ex-husband
My girlfriend's ex-husband has been
applying pressure since learning that I
am involved with his ex-wife. He's
trying to say that she's being immoral
and misleading with her two small
children since they now know, and
accept, that I am with their mother.
Sounds like he's trying to set himself up
to challenge her for custody of the
children, by saying she's an unfit
mother. I love her and her children and
am bothered by his antics, does he have
a case, or is he just trying scare tactics?
There is plenty of info on both her, and
my character - all impecable. He's
asked if I've ever put the children in the
tub at bath time, and if I spend the
night in their mother's bed. This man
has had the children (both girls) sleep
in his bed with him, and has driven
them in his vehicle without car seats.
What can I do as a concerned partner to
protect them?

Re: Girlfriend's ex-husband
Since there is nothing pending, there is not much you can do courtwise. However, I would suggest you keep a log of all of the bad things he is doing so when you go to court, you have all the dates, times, etc.
If he does file a court action, I would suggest getting an attorney. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 if you'd like to discuss your case.
Re: Girlfriend's ex-husband
Unfortunately, you cannot do anything. Your girlfriend can (if she does not already have) apply for sole custody of the children.
Does your girlfriend have sole or joint custody?
Your girlfriend can also advise the court of the fact that the two girls have slept in the same bed with their dad and have driven in a car with him without car seats. Based on these facts, your girlfriend can ask for supervised visits.
